One I generated...

History: in the early stages, there was a PHP exploit where you could do a special curl post to write your public key via a post command... the post command wasn't very friendly with the plus character... so I ran a pub/private key generation loop until there was no plus in the public or private key and have been using that key pair for my generic testing ever since.

just a note... if you are unsure of the status of anything, you can force the hub to think it is out of date and have the factory update process blow it away and update it with the latest version...

In the process of updating, it overwrites the entire partition, not individual files. The /database partition is the only partition shared between both app and updater environments and does not get blown away.

And to date... as long as you have /database/authorized_keys with your public key and /database/ENABLE_SSH exists... you can do updates via the app or however you want maintaining root.

variable wrote:I managed to re-create the url/cert from what you'd posted - side note, I used your md5 hash figuring it wouldn't work since it was from the 2.66 firmware, but was worth a try.. I was right, BUT, as part of its checks, it spits out a couple of lines, the first one being the md5 hash provided, and then a line with the correct one. I sighed having spent more time than I care to admit trying to figure out how to get the correct hash (I know nada in that dept - except in principal). If anyone else comes across this, here's what it looked like (I could probably have just put 12345 too):

The md5sum stuff is a sanity check to make sure it is downloading good code. I have done exactly what you did before to get out of a pickle, works well. Side note, I have backups of various firmware levels however 2.66 is not one of them.

I have never installed the Wink app on my phone (never even installed it on my phone as I was worried to do so, not really knowing the full scope of the rooted wink up do's and don'ts.

I have SSH without issue and use it all the time. As you can see above, I don't have the cf_cert (and don't really know what it is for).

I only use the WH locally and essentially have it as a slave to my OpenHab setup (that sends commands via a bash script that sends aprontest commands via persistent SSH commands. Works well enough.

I am having an issue with a Lightify RGBW Zigbee bulb (where it seems the bulb isn't presenting the attributes for R,G,B, hue, saturation. Not sure if this is an incompatibility issue (though have read other places where these bulbs should present these attributes to the Wink Hub) or if perhaps upgrading would help this issue.

I want to try upgrading, but want to, of course, be sure I preserve root. Your steps seem straight forward enough, but I am missing the importance of the cf_cert and why I don't have it? What should I do to take care of this? Thanks!
